ment when replacing the headlight assembly or

dealer.
Before performing the headlight aim adjustment:

Check the pressure of all tires for the correct
inflation pressure.

Check that the tools and spare tire are
stowed securely.
Check that the fuel and lubricants levels are
filled to correct capacities.

Unload all luggage and other items, which
may influence the vehicle’s height level.

Load a weight on the driver’s seat that is
equivalent to the weight of a driver.
Stopping the vehicle1. Park the vehicle on a level surface vertical to
the wall or screen to which the headlights will
be projected.
2. Move the vehicle close to the wall to deter-
mine the point P as shown in the illustration.The point P must be:
“H” is the distance between the headlight
center point to the level surface.
“W
L” is the distance between the left and
right headlight centers.
3. Mark point P on the wall or screen.
4. Back up the vehicle 5,000 mm (197.0 in,
16.4 ft) straight away from the wall or screen.
